INSIDE A SHOEI HELMET

1. SHIELD

The shield protects the rider against wind, dirt, insects and UV radiation. It must also guarantee clear vision without optical distortion.

2. THE HELMET SHELL

The helmet shell absorbs the impact energy in the event of
a fall, and distributes it over the largest possible area.

3. EPS LINER

The energy that is passed on by the helmet shell is absorbed
by the deformation of the EPS liner. The EPS liner is designed to absorb
the energies of a single impact.

4. COMFORT LINER

The inner padding consists of high-quality polyurethane foams of various levels of hardness, with superior cover materials to ensure a perfect hold and seating on the face.

5. CHINSTRAP

The task of the chinstrap is to hold the helmet firmly on
the head. This is done by using a chinstrap with proper tensile strength
and extensibility. The chinstrap is firmly attached to the helmet shell
with metal rivets.

6. VENTILATION

The SHOEI ventilation system directs cooling,
drying air into the helmet, and uses areas of low air pressure
to the rear of the helmet to draw warm, damp air through
the outlets and into the outside environment. Ventilation
is one of the most sought after helmet functions during the
research and development stages of all new models. The perfect
placing and shaping of the inlets and outlets, along with
air channels buried within the EPS liner, are the basis for
optimum ventilation, and is part of what separates SHOEI
from our competition.
